    Thanks, I have been after this set for ages! Its always on offer with book clubs with the catch of signing up and buying more books which I didn't want. Can put this away till dd is a bit older.

    Free delivery too :)

    Do you not have to join BFC and order further books? I bought mine from the Bookpeople for £29.99, I think there was a 10% off voucher going around and also free delivery
  • There are a couple of Book People codes here for free delivery only. You might have to trawl the voucher board if you want to find any others.

    No bfc isn't one of the ones you have to sign up for.
  • Hi apparently yeah you have to sign up to them and it costs a fortune, this is my post from hotdealsuk thats been stolen and its all posted on there
  • I’ve changed my OP as this appears not to be such a good a deal as I first thought is was. I should have looked into this before posting it.

    I’m ever so sorry if you felt the BFC deal shouldn’t have been posted in the first place as I honestly thought it was a good offer.

    Didn't mean to cause any offence.

    I'm a bit lost with this, I ordered from bfc, there is nothing at all on the site or anywhere in the checkout that gives any indication that its a book club, the order went through like a normal purchase and there is nothing in the faq's about buying future books. The deal to me seems almost the same as the book people deal, give or take about 50p.

    The site called books direct http://www.booksdirect.co.uk/cms/CMSNewMember/OurClubsBFC(NMCMS).aspx is a book club displaying the bfc logo, but the books for children site is not a club. http://www.bfcdirect.co.uk/?gclid=CNnuws2pu54CFUoB4wodCy7mFA :confused:

    They are owned by the same company but it seems their brands offer a variety of options, there is definitely nothing in the terms and conditions on the bfc direct site to indicate its a club, whereas the other site lists all the clauses of buying future books and the editors choice etc.
  • Maybe we should allow people to decide for themselves which offer is best value.
